Food Focus: Flavonols for Heart Health

The study uncovered a strong connection between flavonols and reduced risk of atherosclerotic disease

Flavonols are a group of nutrients found in foods such as tea, onions, chocolate, and berries. While health experts have long known that flavonols may offer general health benefits, the heart appears to be one of the specific areas where flavonol-rich foods may enhance health.

Flavonols offer cardiovascular benefit to older women

Researchers collected diet and health information, including use of blood pressure medications, existing heart disease, height, weight, diabetes, and smoking and drinking habits, from 1,063 generally healthy, older women living in Perth, Australia. The group was followed for five years to track who died due to atherosclerotic heart disease-the type of disease that leads to blocked blood vessels and heart attacks.

Women who got the most dietary flavonols from all foods and beverages were 73% less likely to die due to atherosclerotic vascular disease compared with women eating the least.

Women consuming the most flavonols from tea were 68% less likely to die due to atherosclerotic disease compared with women who had the lowest intake.

Women consuming the most flavonols from non-tea sources were 59% less likely to die due to atherosclerotic disease compared with women with the lowest intake.

Feasting on flavonols

This study is observational, and cannot prove cause and effect. Still, it uncovered a strong connection between flavonols and reduced risk of developing atherosclerotic disease, a major killer in the developed world. Further, there are few downsides to getting more flavonol-rich foods into your healthy eating plan.

Sip smartly. Tea accounted for about 65% of the flavonol intake in the study, suggesting that the beverage is a smart addition to any heart-healthy diet.

Brew tastiness. Black tea is a rich source of flavonols, though both green and white teas contain the nutrients too. Regardless of the type, don't overbrew: steep for two to four minutes, and use water that is just below boiling temperature to avoid bitter flavors.

Pick the plant. True tea comes from a plant known as Camellia sinensis. While herbal infusions such as chamomile, licorice, valerian, and other herbal blends taste great and can have their own health benefits, only the Camellia sinensis plant yields true tea-black, green, or white.

Add it up. Don't rely only on food and beverages for heart health. No heart-health plan would be complete without regular aerobic physical activity, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, vigorous dancing, basketball or soccer, and good social support that bolsters you when you're down and helps you keep the stresses of daily life in perspective.

With finals week coming up I figured I would give this stuff a shot since its pretty reasonably priced. I can already feel a difference, although I am supposed to be writing a paper right now... Definitely works tho!

Something that a lot of people probably don't realize is most ingredients in this guy are well documented for helping to mitigate, reduce or prevent some forms of migraines.

I've been taking this stuff for years for that purpose and I'm happy to report it USUALLY keeps me balanced.

It doesn't reduce symptoms 100% and I certainly wouldn't recommend this as a substitute for other reducers, but you will probably find it helps reduce your need for other preventative drugs and has other positive side effects.

I just hope GNC never stops carrying this. They're the last vendor I know of that sells it =(.

Used it for a semester when I had a heavy class load. This stuff is for real, but it comes at a cost. For me, my sleep pattern was really messed up. I'd be up all night some nights, sleep like a log others. There was no predicting what type of night you'd have. The weird thing is, even on your insomniac nights, you could concentrate really well the next day, like you could turn on a concentration switch. Weird. It starts to wear off after a few months though.

me and my 15yr old son was looking for him something to help focus and remember things when he is at school. i took these a couple of times and noticed right off the difference. im a 50yr old mom and recently ive noticed when im at work or home when i try to recall something it takes a while. i didnt know if this is that "fog brain" they say a woman can get going through menopause or not. after i took one before work one night (graveyard worker) i noticed when i tried to remember if i had already paged someone etc, it came back to me like it used to when i was younger! then i realized how much of a fog my brain had actually been in. my son had said a couple of days before that he didnt think they were working for him so i told him you have to give herb pills a month or even several months to see the effects. well, after i found they worked so fast and well for me i told him if he wasnt going to take them i was! he then said that he had started to see a difference too. every time i take them i notice the difference especially when im at work. im excited!
